    Uterine Prolapse (adjunctive care)

    Also known as: uterine prolapse, womb prolapse, pelvic organ prolapse, dropped womb

    Uterine prolapse is the womb descending into the vagina — from childbirth, ageing, straining or obesity. Pelvic-floor physiotherapy, pessaries and surgery are the options. Chinese medicine treats middle-qi sinking, kidney deficiency and damp-heat patterns alongside, with a strong preventive exercise focus.
